Description Delio Sampaio 2026-02-16 22:19:07 UTC 
Since the last KDE update, every time Dolphin opens, it mounts every network shortcut pinned to the Places panel (the left one, with Downloads, Documents, Videos, etc).

I have six pinned network shortcuts there, some using NFS and others SAMBA. Autofs should only mount them when a resource is actually accessed. Before this update, Dolphin never tried to mount them unless I specifically clicked on them.

Now, every time I open Dolphin or simply navigate the filesystem, it mounts all of them automatically.

Dolphin alone is not the only culprit, as I tried downgrading it and the behavior persisted. This suggests the issue might be in the underlying frameworks.

I have another machine that hasn't been updated yet with the following specs:
Dolphin: 25.12.2
KDE Plasma: 6.5.5
Frameworks: 6.22.0
Qt: 6.10.2

On this machine, the bug does not occur.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Open Dolphin or navigate anywhere in the Linux filesystem.
Dolphin checks all pinned network locations, triggering AUTOFS to mount them.

EXPECTED RESULT

Dolphin should only check/access these pinned network locations if I click on them, as in previous versions.
